This article (the cover story in this weeks Independent) is a loving-ly written "shout out" to a bunch of well deserving musicians and friends/ brothers struggling to make it happen musically.
This weekend I recorded all day yesterday over at The Second Story for this up and coming singer/songwriter Kris Hixon. Jamie McFarlane and Mike Gallagher played bass and guitar and Wade and Mark produced/ engineered the session. Saturday evening Daniel Hart picked me up and we carted my drums and stuff down to Mark Paulson's place in Raleigh to set up for The Physics of Meaning session on Sunday. We set up and rehearsed an additional song.
Today I played at Chapel Hill Bible Church in the morning and came home to teach a few drum lessons and the David and Daniel came by to pick me up and take me down to Raleigh for the Physics of Meaning session. Right now we're getting sounds, Mark Paulson is doing an awesome job getting everybody set up and good to go. I'm sitting next to David and while he's checking levels on his bass I'm typing this. Yepper. Alright, it looks like he's done. I'm signing off and David and I will go back to watching Fred Armisen on You Tube. Cheers!
Alright, I got my Cholesterol re-tested right before Xmas and here are the new numbers:
Total: 207
Triglycerides: 84
HDL: 52
LDL: 138
This is so much better than when I was last tested in July. I'm still hoping to bring the numbers down some more, but for now I'm glad I don't have to take medication.
I'm scheduled to run the Country Music Half-Marathon in April, so I'm continuing to run and hoping to increase my mileage so that the Half-Marathon is fun. Right now, I'm running about 8 miles during the week and 7-8 miles on the weekend. I'm hoping to increase that substantially by the time I get closer to April. Hopefully I can keep my injuries at bay and keep building momentum.
